How I Remap my Keys

• CAPSLOCK is Left-Ctrl
• Left-Ctrl (and my substitution CAPSLOCK) is Esc when tapped, but Ctrl when pressed with other keys. (Ctrl+A, for example)

This is achieved using the following commands, which are run on startup.

# Remaps Left Control to Escape
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'

and

# Remaps the CapsLock to Ctrl
/usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps"
